Pick an argument and show some consistency please.
And this assertion that pissing off stupid people is what elected Trump, therefore we should play nice is really obnoxious. Trumpism thrives on intimidation tactics. Maybe you missed January 6th, but that was domestic terrorism promoted by a sitting POTUS. And you want us to be nice to them so we don't rile up stupid people?
NO, you're dead wrong. We should speak up louder, because bullies win when you let them have their way. That applies to covid disnformation spreaders as well. The DOJ had to create a task force to address these bastards showing up at school board meetings and acting out violently in opposition to mask and vaccination policies. And you know how those people became bullies? By being lied to by creeps on Fox News, Joe Rogan and Twitter until they were banned.
Because stupid people think vaccines are meant to track their whereabouts or the technology of mRNA is dangerous they are impervious to logic and will continue to die because of their ignorance. They will perpetuate the pandemic by not getting vaxxed. They will continue to fck over the rest of us in their role as willing hosts to a contagion, because they are selfish in their delusional world full of false conspiracies. Ten years ago they were making Sci-Fi movies about these people turning into zombies and now we're already there.
Their "principles" are moronic and have nothing to do with "freedom". These morons got vaccinated as kids and now all of sudden, oooh, vaccines are bad, don't touch me! Meanwhile, the majority of those aholes have no problem with overturning Roe vs. Wade because all human life is precious. They won't fight to protect a women's right to choose, but they'll die to not be pricked by a needle. Stupid and hypocritical. Go live in the woods and eat bark and berries if you want your freedom from vaccines that bad.
So, yeah, these people who make a public display of their dumb anti-vaxx positions and then die from covid should be held up as poster children of ignorance. And the irony is that is probably the only thing that will convince other dummies to get vaxxed.
Robert Malone is a douchebag. Should I be nice and polite about that too?
This is getting tiring. There is a difference between removing an influencer with zero domain expertise and removing doctors and scientists who have expertise in relevant fields. You don't need to insult someone's intelligence to defeat their argument. That should be obvious. We can't expect making ad hominem attacks on people with medical degrees and PhDs to be an effective strategy.
Half of our country voted for Trump. You thinking that they are all bullies and should be shouted down is a little shocking. You are conflating the fringe with the entire group. There are a whole bunch of people who are against vaccine mandates or against vaccines for children or were vaccinated but don't want to get a booster every few months etc. It's not all a bunch of nonsense about trackers and dangerous technology.
You seem to thrive on binary thinking and have clearly made anyone who disagrees with you a villain in your mind. Good luck getting the world to change for you.
